Abstract

Reducing unplanned downtime requires monitoring of equipment health. This may not be possible in many cases as traditional health monitoring systems often rely on the use of historical data and maintenance information which is not always available, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises. This paper presents a practical approach that uses sensor data for real-time equipment health indication. The methodology proposed consists of a set of steps. It starts with feature engineering which may include feature extraction to transform raw sensor data into a format more suitable for analysis. Anomaly detection follows next, where various techniques are employed to find any deviations in the engineered features indicating potential equipment deterioration or abrupt failures. Then comes the most important stages equipment health indication and alert generation. These stages provide timely information about the equipment’s condition and any necessary interventions. These steps make it possible for such an approach to be effective even when there is little or no historical data available. The applicability of this approach is validated through a lab-based case study.
